Su Ronggui was naturally reserved, but that didn’t an he wasn’t worldly. Since it was his treat, he naturally hosted thoroughly, and when everyone sat down, there wasn’t a seat left for him. He had the waiter add a chair, and he sat next to Tu Hengsha.
Tu Hengsha really couldn’t be more annoyed with the person next to her! So she decided to disgust him a bit. While ordering, she said, "Hey! I wonder if chicken feet are any good?"
The owner, of course, enthusiastically promoted his product.
She turned her head to ask a person whose face clearly had new scratches from fingernails, "Mr. Su, what do you think? Are chicken feet good?"
"If the owner says they’re good, then they must be good!" Su Ronggui replied with an unruffled deanor.
Tu Hengsha nodded and asked again, "Huh! You also have pig face at?"
"Yes, yes! Our ho-smoked pig face is a specialty! Nowhere else in Yanbei can you find it! You can’t get it at any other place!" the owner quickly said.
Tu Hengsha nodded, "Smoked, huh?"
"Yes! Made in our hotown, it’s very fragrant!"
"Is this smoked pig face skin particularly thick?" She turned again to ask, "Mr. Su, since you’re treating tonight, it’s your call! Do you say this pig face skin is particularly thick? Shall we order it?"
The question was quite odd, and everyone present felt a bit uncomfortable. The night shift colleagues couldn’t detect anything, but the day shift colleagues knew what had happened in the morning. Hearing the words "pig face skin" repeatedly ntioned, they couldn’t help but glance at Su Ronggui’s face, especially Hao Ren, who burst out laughing.
Tu Hengsha didn’t believe a certain person didn’t understand, but even if he did, he could only pretend not to. Would he really get angry and argue with her about whether he was a pig face? That would suit her perfectly, as it wouldn’t be her making a fool of herself!
Sure enough, a certain Mr. Su just calmly said, "Since it’s a specialty, let’s order it!"
Tu Hengsha felt a brief thrill of satisfaction and passed the nu to another colleague to order.
As she happily sipped her water, there was a warm sensation near her ear, as if sothing was approaching, and then she heard a voice near her ear say, "You’re getting bolder."
"..." She frowned slightly; perhaps she was! She actually dared to mock Mr. Su like this... But so what? If you have the guts, confront in front of everyone, ask if I was insulting you!
Because of this small advantage, she enjoyed this late-night snack quite happily. Especially that plate of pig face at, which was deliciously fragrant and tender. She ate nearly half the plate by herself. Even Hao Ren laughed, saying, "You ordered it, you should eat more!"
Tu Hengsha was unceremonious, and with each bite, she provocatively glanced at a certain teacher as if to say: Look, I’m biting! I’m biting hard!
She didn’t know if Mr. Su noticed, but he appeared indifferent and showed no reaction.
After the late-night snack, it was even later, and everyone thanked Su Ronggui and quickly dispersed. Hao Ren asked loudly, "Little Sha! It’s so late. Are you still going back? Why not rest at my place for a few hours?"
A single man’s apartnt? There was no way Tu Hengsha would do that! "Thanks! But I need to go ho. My mom would worry!"
"Then I’ll take you! I’ll call a car for you." Hao Ren took out his phone.
"No need! I’ll call a car myself!" Tu Hengsha was very much against this escorting behavior. She had been fearless since childhood and wasn’t afraid of anything. In high school, when she was a day student, she walked ho alone after night class. Besides, she couldn’t afford to be afraid.
A certain person who was settling the bill nearby spoke up, "Don’t bother escorting her, and no need to go ho! The nearest place is the newspaper office. Go there, rest for a few hours, and continue working in the morning! Otherwise, it would take two hours round trip, and no one would get any sleep!"
He finished speaking and left first, heading in the opposite direction of the newspaper office.
Tu Hengsha thought for a mont and had to admit that his suggestion made so sense. Hao Ren would definitely escort her, but by the ti he ca back, it would indeed be impossible to get any sleep, and Su Ronggui himself was walking in the opposite direction of the newspaper office...
"Then I’ll go to the newspaper office!" she said.
Hao Ren nodded, "Alright, I’ll go with you!"
Hao Ren accompanied her all the way to the newspaper office building. Tu Hengsha stopped, "That’s enough. I’m going up; you should head back and get so rest." Hao Ren’s house was nearby, so there was no need for him to stay at the newspaper office.
"Okay, good." Hao Ren glanced at the lights inside the building and the staff on duty, feeling reassured, "Then I’m leaving. Goodnight."
"Goodnight."
Su Ronggui actually went to a hotel. It was three-thirty in the morning, planning to take a shower and get a good sleep to make up for the lack of sleep the night before.
He tilted his head up, and the water from the showerhead poured down, and as it flowed down his cheeks, he could still feel a slight sting. He let the water run over him, and amidst the gurgling water, it seed like he could still hear the echo of a slap.
When he went out wrapped in a towel, his phone vibrated once more. Who could be calling at this late hour?
He quickly walked over, picked up his phone, and unexpectedly, it was that ghost Su Rongcheng! However, a stone in his heart was lifted.
"Hey? I’ve already gone to sleep!" He couldn’t understand why this guy wasn’t cuddling with his wife in the middle of the night and was instead bothering him.
Su Rongcheng laughed on the other end, "Sleeping your big head! If you were sleeping, how did you answer my call?"
"Because you woke up!"
"You make it sound like you’ve never disturbed my sleep before! I have sothing to ask you!" Su Rongcheng spoke in a sneaky tone, "You’ve been staying out all these nights, is there sothing going on?"
"No!" How bored could Su Rongcheng be!
"Don’t think I don’t know! You made a round trip between Yanbei and Nanjing overnight yesterday!"
"..." Was Su Rongcheng a hound?
"I know who you went to see! Master Yi, right?"
"..." What on earth was Su Rongcheng made of?
"Ha ha! Are you impressed?" Su Rongcheng laughed, "There’s no need for such admiration among brothers! Tell , you went to Master Yi to fix that piece of jewelry that Rongxing broke, right?"
"I’m sleeping, goodbye." He was ready to hang up.
"Wait, wait!" The other side urgently cried out, "What was that piece of jewelry called, cloisonné enal? Or so kind of enal? Whatever it’s called, where can I buy the best of it nowadays? Master Yi doesn’t want to make it anymore, and the ones sold on the market are really poor quality, except, uh... there’s a woman who likes this style, and Brother won’t ask you for that piece like Rongxing did. Just tell where I can find the best, and Brother will buy it himself."
Having been bothered by his babbling for so long, Su Ronggui was fed up and dismissed him with a "Don’t know" before hanging up. Where was it sold? Didn’t he know Su Rongcheng well enough? Asking him where it was sold was just a ploy to find a way to further investigate, knowing that his grandma had plenty of them!
